Orange County's popular Irish folk group Paddy West will give its annual St. Patrick's Day concert at Orange Coast College on Saturday, but this year's affair will be a bittersweet celebration. In December, the group's founder, Irish-born singer and songwriter Patrick Kennedy, died in his sleep at age 45, apparently of heart failure. The group's remaining members, Jessie Kelly and George Kavanaugh, will perform as a tribute to Kennedy.
